IMPORTANT:
Do not use „automatically upgrade“ if you stored personal files (gpx, txt) in the OSM-plugin folder!! At „automatically upgrade“ the whole folder is deletete an then new OSM folder is copied.
Instead of „automatically upgrade“ simply copy the new version with your FTP client (overwrite/replace).
